Receive Forgiveness, Not Condemnation
Every single day of our lives we need forgiveness. The Holy Spirit sets off the
alarm in our spirits to recognize sin, and He gives us the power of the blood
of Jesus to continuously cleanse us from sin and keep us in right standing with
Him.
But if we are overcome with condemnation, we can be certain it is not from God.
He sent Jesus to die for us, to pay the price for our sins. Jesus bore our sin
and condemnation on the cross (see Isaiah 53).
When God breaks the yoke of sin from us, He removes the guilt too. He is
faithful and just to forgive all our sins and to continually cleanse us from
all unrighteousness (see 1 John 1:9).
The devil knows that condemnation and shame keep us from approaching God in
prayer so we can receive forgiveness and enjoy intimate fellowship with Him.
Feeling bad about ourselves or believing that God is angry with us only
separates us from His presence. He will never leave you, so don't withdraw from
Him because of condemnation. Receive His forgiveness and walk with Him.
Prayer Starter: God, thank You for showing me that condemnation is not from
You. Today, I receive Your forgiveness. You have cleansed me of sin so that I
can live in right standing with You.

But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. (1 John 1:9 NLT)
